Earnings Call Themes & Trends
Management Commentary

Q&A Highlights
- Loan growth outlook: Low single‑digit growth achievable for rest of year; core commercial loans up $73M; warehouse expected to average ~$1.25B in Q3 .

- Fee income run‑rate: Updated to $38–$40M (from $36–$38M) on stronger service and card fees .
- Regulatory timing: Expecting faster approvals (3–4 months typical) vs last deal’s delays; continued M&A activity .
- Asset quality: NPAs increase concentrated; product change (minority/low‑income mortgage program discontinued >1 year ago), low loss‑given‑default; no ACL addition in Q2 .

Key Takeaways for Investors
- Modest EPS beat alongside NIM expansion and efficiency improvement suggests underlying earnings power is strengthening, even as reported revenue missed consensus due to lower securities gains YoY .
- Loan growth reaccelerated (+$220M QoQ), with core commercial momentum and seasonal warehouse strength; watch deposit seasonality through Q3 before typical Q4 recovery .
- NPAs increased, but management detailed concentrated sources and maintained ACL without a build; near‑term stock narrative may weigh asset quality vs margin expansion .
- American Bank acquisition is a clear positive catalyst: material NII and margin accretion post‑close with minimal anticipated runoff; expect focus on regulatory timing and integration milestones .
- FY25 margin trajectory guided to 3.25%–3.30% with explicit path to ~3.48% in 12 months; supportive for estimate revisions upward on NII/NIM .
- Expense outlook inches up in Q3 ($141–$144M), offset by fee run‑rate lift and bond/loan repricing tailwinds; monitor operating leverage .
- Trading lens: Near‑term movement likely tied to credit headlines and M&A accretion clarity; medium‑term thesis hinges on margin expansion, disciplined funding, and consolidation strategy execution.
